Champion Juicer’s Banana Kefir Ice Cream

I could not imagine what I would miss out in life without the Champion Juicer. After the Lemon Kefir Ice Cream, I experimented with an old fashioned Vanilla flavored Ice Cream which I think it’s nice. To it, I added banana to give a unique fragrance and creamy texture.

Banana is one of the most nutritious energy generating fruits on planet earth. It contains fiber, rich in potassium and high level of vitamins and minerals. Vitamins A, C, a full range of the B vitamins, Calcium, Riboflavin, Thiamine, Niacin,  Magnesium, traces of Iron, Zinc and Folic Acid are all found in varying amounts in one banana.

Again, I took out the regular milk and replaced it with the all time good and healthy Kefir milk and cream. You may use yogurt if you are not able to get kefir milk. You, the lactose intolerant, are going to love me for this recipe.

  • 2 cups Kefir cream

Champion Juicer makes healthy Kefir Ice Cream?

champion juicer lemon kefir ice creamI do not know about you, being an advocate for healthy food, the thought of consuming a generous scoop of ice cream would overwhelm me with guilt. The plain truth is, I love ice cream !! The high sugar and diary content in the ice cream would make me frown but the sensation of having the smooth ice cream melt in the mouth is phenomenal. To some of you ice cream lovers who are unfortunately lactose intolerant, this presents itself to be a real pain in the neck.

I have an excellent news for you !! Champion juicer makes healthy ice cream ! That’s right, a healthy one, even for the lactose intolerant.

Kefir is a fermented milk product rich in its probiotics properties. It is a rich source of enzymes, vitamins B2, B12, A, D, K, essential minerals, proteins, lactic acid, folic acid, biotin and Tryptophan. Daily consumption of Kefir is beneficial to our digestive system and it helps to boost our immune system. Hence the replacement of regular milk with Kefir in this ice cream recipe will not only eliminate the allergic factors from the lactose intolerant but it also makes the nutrients in this Kefir Ice Cream easily assimilated.

Champion Juicer’s Instant Tutti-Frutti Sherbet

  • Clean and cut any type of fresh fruits into longitudinal strips to fit the feeder chamber of Champion juicer. Freeze the fruit till solid before running them through the Champion Juicer. Use the Champion Juicer blank to homogenize the frozen pieces of fruits.
  • Be creative to prepare instant Sherbet of different varieties of fruits.
  • Instead of adding sweetener or sugar to the homogenized mixture, feed dried fruits or frozen banana through the Champion Juicer for added sweetness and a creamy smooth texture. Alternate tart fruits with sweet fruits when you homogenize the frozen pieces.
  • Serve immediately or return mixture back to the freezer in a sealed container.

Alternatively,

  • You may homogenize the fresh fruits with Champion Juicer first, then freeze mixture in freezing trays till solid. Slice the frozen mixture into narrow strips to be homogenized with Champion Juicer. Serve at once. This alternative allows you to determine if the fruits mixture need a sweetener, so that it can be added before the freezing of the fruits.

Frozen sherbet mixtures may be stored in freezer bags or sealed container for future use. This is a good way to utilize the abundance of fruits in season.

One golden tip: To get a thicker and creamier Sherbets, chill the juicer body, cutter, blank and bowl before homogenizing the frozen fruits. This is easily done by placing the Champion Juicer parts in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before assembling.

Caution: Please do not place parts in freezer to chill.

Enjoy your healthy cool summer treat….
